Barbara was born in Boston, to the late Carl A. and Anna M. (Feeney) Mattson. Raised in Dorchester, she was a graduate of the Jeremiah E. Burke High School for Girls.

Barbara loved gardening, shopping, decorating, meeting with her friends for lunch, trips to Brimfield, and preparing large meals for her family, always on the best china. Every holiday had Barbara cooking in the kitchen. She never disappointed!
